Couldn't websites just not censor content at all? Except for illegal stuff of course.

The situation on illegal acts won’t really change. Sites like Facebook are liable if they don’t take reasonable steps to prevent criminal activity. The difference is that without 230 there is no inherent protection against civil suits. If you libel somebody on Facebook then it would be as if they were a publisher. The same would apply to sites like Saidit, Kiwi Farms, or BitChute.

As much as I despise social media, I don’t need to use them or care about what they do. I have alternatives. I’d like to keep them.
